My Art

2016

Robert Clohessy, Grace Dunham, Lena Dunham, Benjamin Eakeley ...

Drama A 65-year-old single artist living in New York City has a good life: a stable teaching job, successful friends, and a loyal, aging dog named Bing. As her dream of a respectable place in the art world becomes more elusive, her frustration with her lack of recognition feels alarmingly urgent.

	Media	Author	Review
		Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter	"The picture somehow contrives to waste not one but four talented female performers (...) All the more unfortunate that Simmons' approach should be so lacking in irony, wit and basic raison d'etre."
		Kate Erbland IndieWire	"[Simmons] impresses in an unexpected arena (...) It’s her performance as artist Ellie that stands out (...) [A] predictable feature"
		Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"'My Art' is a highly flawed picture that has enough particular moments that it can qualify as a 'Sort Of' movie. That is, it’s sort of funny, sort of charming, and sort of insightful. But it’s also consistently stilted"
		Lena Wilson The Playlist	"A milquetoast mess (...) All the dialogue in this film feels like it’s been fed through a translator into Human English (...) A film strung together by half-baked characters and a gimmick"
		Wes Greene Slant	"Simmons is prone to leaving plotlines dangling (...) Part of 'My Art's fun is the accuracy of Simmons's staging (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Richard Brody The New Yorker	"Simmons doesn’t reveal much about Ellie’s process or her ideas, but she looks closely at the connections between life and work"
